Sažetak
An alternative approach to the application of formaldehyde releasing conventional N-methylol compounds is based upon the use of non-formaldehyde Durable Press (DP) finishing agents – polycarboxlic acids (PCA). Another alternative approach, investigated here, is the application of microwave energy to impart durable crease resistance to dyed cotton fabric. Bifunctional dyes: C.I. Reactive Red 195, C.I. Reactive Yellow 145 and C.I. Reactive Blue 221 are applied in the study. Isocratic HPLC method is applied to quantify the PCA reacted with the cellulosic material under two different curing procedures. Shade change evaluation reveals that microwave way of curing has greater influence on the dE values than conventional one. In all other aspects, primarily in the wrinkle recovery and resistance to deformation, microwave way of curing offers much better results.
